Letters Patent No. 67,743, dated August 13, 1867.

IMPROVEMENT IN LUBBIGATOR.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, EDWIN FAULL, of Holden, in the British colony of Victoria, Australia, have invented new and useful Improvements in the Construction of Lubricators; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

The invention has for its object the obtaining a more certain and continuous supply of lubricating matter to the parts of machinery subject to friction and for this purpose I make the reservoir containing the oil or lubricating matter of glass or other transparent material, having a glass or other transparent conduit pipe, through which I place a supply-cock for the purpose of regulating the supply, having a. nut at one extremity for the purpose of permanently adjusting it. Below this regulating supply-eoclr another similar-one may be placed, if desired, for the purpose of cutting off the supply when needed, thus dispensing with the necessity of closing and readjusting the first-mentioned cock.

The coupling between the glass conduit pipe and the metal should be elastic to allow for the unequal expansion of the glass and metal. .In the accompanying drawings'. I

Figure 1 is a vertical s'ectionof my improved lubricetor, and

Figure 2 is a horizontal section thereof at line a: 2;.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

A is the reservoir, of glass or other transparent material, supplied through a. B is the conduit, also of glass or other transparent material; and I prefer blowing or casting it in one piece with A. At b, in B, I place the supply-cock O, which, when adjusted, is secured by the nut c.' The conduit B is connected with the metal to be lubricated by the motel tube D, in which it is adjusted by the elastic packing or washer e. A second cock may be placed at D, if desired, for the purpose of cutting oil the supply without altering the adjustment of C.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The combination of the transparent reservoir and'conduit 13, metal tube D, elastic washer e, supply-cock C, and the second cock D, substantially as described for the purpose'specified.

The above specification of my invention signed .by-me this twenty-third day of March, 1867.

' EDWIN FAULL.
